A Look Back

I’ve been spending some time reflecting on this last year and all of the inspirational people that I have met.  One of the people that I met was Amber while I was sitting in on a seminar provided by the University of Texas at Austin.  I wanted to share this post today to just remind new followers of Project Kinect of some of the people I have met on this journy.  This was before New Orleans, The Today Show, Tuscaloosa, The Kishwaukee Corridor and everything else that has happened since late March. 

WE ARE ALL INVOLVED!!!

 While I was at The Hidden Room production, I met Bijoy who told me about two organizations here in Austin. One was ATX Equation. That I will discuss in a later post. The other, was Rise Austin which assists entrepeneurs in creating their vision. During their conference, they have a selection of great key-note speakers from new up and coming companies. I went to hear about Unreasonable Institute and then met Amber. Amber has a very similar story to mine and was so thrilled to meet her. She was a great addition to my experience here in Austin and to my evening. Listen to her story and enjoy what happens when someone just relies on faith for a moment. Thank you so much Amber. I have a feeling we’ll cross paths again.

Rockford, IL Weed & Seed: The Kishwaukee Corridor

I had the amazing opportunity to ride around with Dana, the director of the Kishwaukee Corridor part of Rockford.  This area of Rockford happens to be the largest Weed and Seed Site in the country and also happens to be the historical center of Rockford.  Thank you so much Dana for an amazing and impactful experience.  What you are doing for your community is unbelievably remarkable and selfless beyond all levels.
